RA-20 Stereo Re-Amplifier
$489 AUD
Regulars in the back. Guests up front.
Your everyday workhorses stay patched in the back—neat, tidy, out of sight. When a borrowed synth shows up, a friend brings a bass over, or you finally pull that dusty drum machine off the shelf, just plug into the front panel. Each front-panel input automatically overrides the rear connection, so your regulars are always ready and there's always room for something new. Eight channels of pristine, high-headroom passive DI in an industrial 1RU enclosure for minimal footprint and maximum lifespan, with every cable exactly where it should be. We built the rack DI we always wished we had.
Features
Front-panel inputs override rear connections on the fly
All everyday I/O on the rear panel for clean racks
Label-friendly space above each channel for masking tape or console tape
High headroom, ultra-low noise
